Normally, it will be prepared using Besan flour, but I have replaced it with sooji rava / semolina in this recipe. My aunt prepares the burfi in this way, which will be very tasty :P Also, another variation I made here is that, I have used only 6 1/2 cups of ingredients.. i.e., I have reduced the quantity of sugar by 1/2 cup. Somehow, I feel that it will be too sweetish if whole 3 cups of sugar is added. That's why, this small variation in the original recipe!

To be frank, we were getting bored with the same taste of store bought powder. Somehow, we finished it successfully and I started searching for a bisibele bhath powder recipe in the net. Finally, I got a nice recipe and prepared the bisibele bhath powder at home. Then, I thought of preparing the Boondi, a combination with Bisibele Bhath, at home. Boondi came out very well and I am thinking of preparing it at home now onwards.. This boondi is slightly different from the boondi which we prepared for Boondi laddoo. For boondi laddoo, boondi should be smooth and for Khara (Spicy) boondi, it should become nicely crispy. This can be done by adding a few spoons of rice flour to the batter.
